AC Ajaccio are based in the city of Ajaccio on the Mediterranean island of Corsica. They began playing in 1909 and started life playing on a sand dump! Their great rivals are fellow Corsican side Bastia.

ACA went professional in 1965 and adopted a polar bear symbol as the club badge; this has since been dropped in favour of a more stylised logo based on the Corsican flag – we suspect there aren’t that many polar bears on Corsica?
